Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an easy-to-use metered dispensing cap for tubes and other types of containers.
  • this invention is directed to a cap system which permits metered amounts of material to be repeatedly dispensed as desired. By squeezing the container, the metered cap is filled as it is pushed upward; by being opened at the top and pushed downward, the cap dispenses the material and is repositioned for closing and reloading.
  • the present invention is directed to a metered dispensing cap system for containers such as tubes and the like.
  • the system has a base element which is attachable to the neck of a squeezeable container and which has a sidewall portion and a top.
  • the base element has an opening in the top for outflow of a material from a squeezeable container into a meter element.
  • This base element may be removeably attachable, e.g. by being screwed on, or may be permanently attached, e.g. by being integrally molded with the container.
  • a one way valve is located in the opening of the base element to permit the flow of material from a container through the opening while preventing backflow.
  • the system also includes a meter element which acts like an inverted trap and which has a sidewall portion and a top with an opening in the top for dispensing of the material therefrom.
  • the sidewall portion of the meter element is slightly larger than and has the same cross sectional shape as this sidewall portion of the base element and this sidewall portion of the meter element is higher than and located about and encompasses the sidewall portion of the base element.
  • the meter element is vertically slideable along the sidewall portion of the base element with an upward position for receiving a volume of material in a pre-determined amount when the squeezeable container is squeezed and downward position whereby the opening in the top of the meter element allows for dispensing of the desired amount of fluid when the meter element is pushed down.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a side, cut view of a squeezeable container with the base element integrally formed with the container and shows other features of a preferred embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a top oblique view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention including part of a container
  • FIG. 3 shows a side, cut view of a third embodiment of the present invention wherein the base element is removeably attached (screwed on) to a container;
  • FIG. 4 shows an oblique, top, partially cut view of a metered dispensing cap system of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3 but with the cap removed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side, cut view of a container 3 which includes a present invention metered dispensing cap system 1.
  • Base element five includes a sidewall portion 23 which is intrically molded to container 3 and also includes a top 7 which contains opening 8 for outflow of a material from container 3. While base element 5 is attached directly to container 3 in this embodiment, it could alternatively be removeably attached and could be snapped on or screwed on or otherwise temporarily or permenently attached to a container.
  • Located in opening 8 is one-way valve 9 which permits flow of material from container 3 into meter element 11. Typically, this is achieved when meter element 11 is in the down position and container 3 squeezed. When this is done, one-way valve 9 opens up and allows the material in container 3 to enter into meter element 11 thereby pushing up and expanding the volume of element 11 so as to completely fill it's volume with the desired, metered amount of the material to be dispensed.
  • Meter element 11 includes a sidewall portion 13 which has a slightly larger diameter and the same cross sectional shape as sidewall 23, is higher than sidewall 23 and, as shown, is located around and encompasses sidewall portion 23 of base element 5.
  • Meter element 11 has a top 15 with an opening 17 for ultimate dispensing of the metered amount of material and, in this embodiment, includes thread 19 for receiving cap 25 and also includes gripping protrusion 21, as shown.
  • Cap 25 includes threads 27 to mesh with threads 19 so that cap 25 may removeably be attached to meter element 11.
  • Not shown would be a bump or protrusion on wall portion 23 to prevent axial rotation of meter element 11 so as to enable cap 25 to be screwed thereon without meter element 11 rotating.
  • the device may be used as shown without such a stop or bump or protrusion and cap 25 may be screwed onto meter element 11 merely by holding meter element 11 with one hand and screwing cap 25 thereon with the other hand.
  • meter element 11 may initially be pushed into the down position and cap 25 screwed thereon. The user would then squeeze container 23 or otherwise push material through container 23 by one-way valve 9 and would thereby expand the volume of meter element 11 while filling it up with the material to be dispensed until element 11 has slid up sidewall portion 23 as high as possible. At this point, meter element 11 would contain the full amount of material to be dispensed. The user would then remove cap 25 and push downward on protrusion 21, e.g. with two fingers, so as to force the material out of meter element 11 and out of opening 17.
  • protrusion 21 is shown as a finger gripping protrusion, alternatively, other types of flange designs or wings or handles or serations could be used.
  • one-way valve 9 is shown as an umbrella valve, it should be noted that any type of one-way valve could be used such as a spring loaded valve or a flap valve or any other one-way valve which would be available to the artisan.
  • cap 25 this does not have to be a screw on cap but could be a permanently attached flip cap, a snap cap, a stopper, a plug or any other type of known closure.
  • meter element 11 has a single volume as shown but could have created stop levels at various levels along sidewall 23 so as to permit, for example, a quarter dosage, a half dosage, or a three quarter dosage or full dosage thereby allowing for variable volume dispensing.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown container 25 with base element 27 integrally attached thereto with sidewall portion 35 as shown.
  • a one-way valve located inside is not shown but functions in the same manner as that shown in FIG. 1.
  • Meter element 37 includes sidewall 29 and top portion 39 with opening 41.
  • top 41 is curved and no finger grips or protrusion are included.
  • the device shown in FIG. 2 is operated in a manner identical to that in FIG. 1 except that after meter element 37 is filled, cap (not shown) is removed and the container is turned upside down and top 39 is pressed against the palm of the hand or other surface and dispensing occurs without the need for finger gripping.
  • FIG. 3 shows yet another alternative embodiment of the present invention wherein a base element 51 shows the sidewall portion with threads 53 for removeably being attached to container 41 via it's threads 45 located on neck 43.
  • Base element 51 also includes a top portion 55 and an opening 57.
  • One-way valve 61 is included as shown.
  • Meter element 71 includes a sidewall and a top 75 as well as an opening 77 located therein.
  • Specially designed cap 81 has an entry in 85 in it's top and has threads 83 which mesh with threads 73 on meter element 71.
  • This metered dispensing cap system operates in the same manner as that shown in FIG. 1 except that it is retrofitted onto a container which is already threaded.
  • FIG. 4 shows an oblique, partially cut top view of the device shown in FIG. 3 with the cap removed. Like parts are like numbered.
